The fear of things getting closer.

quote:

University of Chicago researchers have found in a recent study that so-called approach avoidance explains why we dread those deadlines, avoid those plans, and shrink at shadowy figures. Back in the day, when saber-toothed tigers were real threats, not some stuffed relic in a museum, watching out for oncoming hazards offered a real, vital benefit. Science also suggests this may be why we enjoy a nice view; finding high ground and seeing far distances means predators can’t surprise us. Like our appendix and tonsils, however, this fear has outlasted its usefulness

Carl Sagan, Enrico Fermi, Milton Friedman, Kurt Vonnegut. Any of those names ring a bell?

If not, is it safe to assume you've never been outside Livingston Parish?

I see stuff out of the corner of my eye all the time that disappears quickly. Probably ghosts of kangaroos, but idk.

How has this outlived it's usefullness? If I see something king at me, it's probably a good idea to want to avoid it.
